RESIDENT Evil 7 looks like the scariest entry in years, but how will it stack up against the very best and worst of Resident Evil over the years?

After treating fans to biggies like The Crew, WWE 2K16 and Assassin's Creed Chronicles in recent months, Microsoft has gone for a few lesser known releases for October, including a lighthearted baseball simulation and a game where you attempt to break out of prisons.

“Blending realistic physics, per-player difficulty control that allows beginners and seasoned vets to play together seamlessly, and tight, responsive controls, this is a baseball game you won’t want to miss.”

The Escapists: “A clever plan. Get a light-hearted glimpse into prison life with an eye towards escaping once and for all.

Mixing simulation, strategy, stealth, and plenty of surprises, you may not want to live in The Escapists’ prisons, but you’ll definitely enjoy the visit.”

Both games have scored well on aggregating sites, with Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings scoring a respectable 80% on Xbox One. Critics have praised its fun gameplay, charming presentation and enjoyable local multiplayer mode.

The Escapists, meanwhile, has a Metacritic score of 74%. The kinder reviews praise its complex gameplay and deep puzzles, while the harsher critics argue that you need saint-like patience to get through it.

October's PS Plus lineup has two higher-profile releases, including one bonafide classic in the form of Resident Evil HD.

Resident Evil HD Remaster: "The game that defined the survival-horror genre is back! Check out the remastered HD version of Resident Evil.

"In 1998 a special forces team is sent to investigate some bizarre murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. Upon arriving they are attacked by a pack of blood-thirsty dogs and are forced to take cover in a nearby mansion. But the scent of death hangs heavy in the air. Supplies are scarce as they struggle to stay alive."

Transformers: Devastation: "Drawing on the talents from the original Transformers TV series for the story and voice work, the game should feel pleasantly familiar to fans.

"Fabled developer PlatinumGames also delivers a fun and rewarding combat system with their signature fast-paced action.

"With your choice of five Autobots, get in there and battle against the Decepticons and Insecticons to save earth from Megatron’s evil plans."

Resident Evil HD may be a remake of the 2002 Gamecube version, but it still holds up, especially with contemporary control options. It has an 83% score on Metacritic, which is pretty good considering it's based on a 2002 game.

Made by the team behind the wonderful Bayonetta series, Transformers Devastation feels like the game Transformers fans have always deserved. It's got a solid 77% score on Metacritic, with critics praising the visuals and calling it the best Transformers game ever made.

So there you have it, after a few months of Xbox One supremacy, Sony is back with a bang.

Resident Evil HD Remastered is a true classic, while Transformers Devastation is a solid action game that will go down particularly well with fans of the series.

Super Mega Baseball and The Escapists are both good titles, but they lack the blockbuster quality that Resident Evil HD brings.
